Starting a new Flutter project? We just made that a whole lot easier.

Today we’re excited to announce a new addition to the Shorebird CLI: the shorebird create command.

This new command helps you spin up production-ready Flutter apps with one simple line. If you want to take a look under the hood on how this works then jump over to our docs to find out more.

No more forgetting to configure your project. No more context switching. No more setup steps later on.

Just:

shorebird create my_next_flutter_app

and you’re ready to build, iterate, and ship fast—with the power of Shorebird baked in from day one.

Why this matters

We’ve seen countless teams start building only to add Shorebird later, often while rushing to fix a bug or prepare for a big launch. With shorebird create, your CI/CD, over-the-air updates, and release tooling are part of the foundation, not an afterthought.

It’s our latest step toward making Flutter development more powerful and more delightful.

Try it today

To get started:

  1. Make sure you have the latest Shorebird CLI
shorebird upgrade
  1. Then run:
shorebird create my_next_flutter_app

That’s it. You’re setup and ready to build.

What’s next?

Over time we hope to add more customization to this create command to ensure that anyone starting a new project has a great place to kick off from without having to worry about all the boilerplate that comes with a new project. But if there are specific things that your looking for in this command don’t hesitate to reach out with your ideas. Just jump into our Discord Server or drop us an email at contact@shorebird.dev with your request.

Shorebird allows you update your Flutter apps instantly, over the air. It takes less than 5 minutes to integrate and complies with Apple and Google store policies.
